Hey, everyone! Happy Halloween! I've recently been waiting to play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and MediEvil.  I've read comments on YouTube that a lot of people play Castlevania and MediEvil during the Halloween season. A lot people who have played Symphony of the Night have reffered to the game as "Metroidvania". This reffers this as to the game borrowing gameplay mechanics and elements from the critically-acclaimed SNES game Super Metroid. If you think you think about it, both games are scarely like each other. Both feature dashing young heroes to evil and/or destructive monsters, and they try to stop returing evils from taking over and/or destroying the world. Speaking the spirit of ghosts, goblins, ghouls, werewolves, phantoms, and other scary monsters, I have been drawing Halloween pictures for my best friend from high school, Trei Lewis, who has also been out of school and is probably cleaning and relaxing at home like I am. He's a HUGE fan of Japanese cultures/anime and I am now drawing him an a female anime werewolf. If you want to know what Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is about, here it is: The evil vampire overlord has been resurrected by a nefarious priest (or wizard, depending on his appearance) who has plans to overthrow the Earth. But he is suddenly opposed by his son, Alucard, and his friend a 17-year old vampire hunter named Maria. The game was released on March 20, 1997, and despite getting overwhelming heaps of acclaim, the game had little commercial success, but to this day gamers adore this game as a cult classic. Well, that's it for it for now! Hope you have enjoyed this new blog-post! See you soon! IF YOU DARE! (Sorry, just kidding.) Bye-Bye-Bye-Bye!

Hey, everyone! Happy Halloween! I'm  sorry if I haven't done a blog post I've been busy at home doing house work and enjoying off time personally. Now with that out of the way, I'd like to talk about the new successful live-reality show Duck Dynasty. It's about these 4 southern rednecks (plus one young one) who all live with their wives, their families, and their friends. They own a multi-million duck-hunting empire. But it's really hard when all of them just wants to wild. They show aired on A&E on March 21, 2012 with 1.81 million viewers and a season finale that aired on May 23, 2012 with 2.56 million viewers.
Season 2 premiered on October 10, 2012 to 3.70 million viewers and the season finale aired on December 5, 2012 to 6.45 million viewers. Season 3 premiered on February 27, 2013 to 8.62 million viewers with season finale airing on April 24, 2013 and earning 9.63 million viewers.
The current 4th season aired on August 14, 2013 to mega-whopping ton of a great golden 11.77 MILLION VIEWERS! Whoa-oh! That is mighty impressive. And when the season finale of the 4th season airs, I'm pretty sure that will have another million viewers again. And while where on the subject of modern pop-culture here and there, I would like to tell everyone that have gotten into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I remember watching 2003 4Kids version and I didn't watch all of the episodes (I was much more into Spider-Man and Transformers at the time) and I really liked it. And then when heard about the beloved 1980's series and also heard that it was based of a comic book series, I started to enjoy clips and wikipedia descriptions of it. And then when I heard Nickelodeon was was developing an all new CGI TMNT cartoon series I was really worried that it would it would and like fall flat on it's face like the 2011 ThunderCats reboot. But guess what? IT'S WONDERFUL! It has the humor of the 80's series, the fell of the Mirage comics and the 2003 series. And the animation is pretty nice, to. giving us a great fell of what teenaged ninja turtles in a modern life of New York City. And I know the CGI animation isn't as good as Dreamworks, Pixar, and Disney, but it's good in it's own way because it uses Japanese anime facial expressions (a la Teen Titans) and comic book like visuals, but these are only used during very important moments in the show. But with only a few flaws here and there, you can't go wrong with the show. It is now it's 2nd season and it's about the turtles trying to found mutagen all over New York City after an accident happened during a battle with the Kraang. Casey Jones will appear sometime in the season and there will be a 1 hour special were the 2012 turtles meet the 80's turtles and it will take place in Dimension X, the Kraang's home world and place of origin, I believe. I also like the new toys and playsets that Playmates Toys keeps making. The concepts and designs are very much like the 80's toy turtles. Well, that's it for now, folks. See you soon! Bye-bye-bye-bye!
Oh, and Casey Jones will be voiced by Josh Peck.

DRAKE AND JOSH FTW!!!!!!
